Riverboat Fantasy

DAVID WILCOX
 RIVERBOAT FANTASY
 Sittin' on a riverboat
 Havin' a party
 Me and my Cajun Queen
 She's turnin' twenty-one on the Mississippi river
 Headin' down to New Orleans
 The year is 1894
 Oh come on mama
 And love me some more
 Her dark eyes flash
 Like a gambler's rings
 She shakes her pretty head and sings
 Life for me is a riverboat fantasy
 Watchin'the sun go down
 A rock and roll band
 With a reefer in my hand
 Now look at that wheel go around
 Cocaine kisses and moonshine Misses
 That's the life for me
 I'm sailing away from my heartache
 On a riverboat fantasy
 Can't think, can't drink
 Anymore whisky
 I could'a drunk a river dry
 Mmmmm... this old boat she's
 Just sittin' in the moonlight
 Catchin' the gleam in her eye
 Showers of rain come pourin' down
 The sky full of stars
 Like a french lace gown
 Shimmer, glimmer
 I think I'm gonna fall
 Whoops catch me mama, that's all
 Life for me is a riverboat fantasy
 Watchin' the sun go down
 A rock and roll band
 With a reefer in my hand
 Now look at that wheel go around
 Cocaine kisses and moonshine Misses
 That's the life for me
 I'm sailing away from my heartache
 On a riverboat fantasy
 Delta sun beats down like a hammer
 Mmmm... it gives the low down blues
 I've got a cotton gin
 I'll weave and spin
 And shake the dust from my shoes
 I made my money
 I found me a honey
 To tickle me under my chin
 When mornin' comes
 I'll ride into town
 And worry 'bout the shape I'm in
 Life for me is a riverboat fantasy
 Watchin' the sun go down
 A rock and roll band
 With a reefer in my hand
 Now look at that wheel go around
 Cocaine kisses and moonshine Misses
 That's the life for me
 Yes it is
 I'm sailing away from my heartache
 On a riverboat fantasy
